Lord there is just so much noise in my head. I just can’t ever seem to get ahead of it. It is always there taunting me, heckling me, draining my energy and sucking the life out of me. How do I separate my mind from it? I know some noise is necessary. Work, children, family obligations are all necessary. But it is also overwhelming. Then there is the enemy’s noise. He is merciless Lord and wears me down.

Then He whispers to me…
“Spend time with me child. Spend time with ME.”

Lord I’m just so stressed out by all that is going on in life right now! I am running in so many directions and I’m so tired all the time. I barely get a shower some days let alone quiet time with you. And Lord you know my heart is not in this job, I want to be back home being a homemaker again.

Then He whispers to me…
“I never wanted you to take that job. You didn’t trust me to provide. I’ve kept you in this job to teach you. Have you learned through this experience? I know you have grown. I’ve watched you with great joy blossoming.”

Yes Lord I have learned a lot. Some very hard lessons but ones that will stick with me. Will you let me out of this job now Lord? Please I want to be back home where my heart really is. I want the constant noise to stop.

Then He whispers to me…
“The noise will stop when you start listening to my gentle whispers. Spend time with me and I will lead you. You have pushed me away and I have missed you. I have put the path in motion to end the job and bring you back home. Listen to those hard lessons and know I will always provide. Always! Now let’s try not to do this the hard way again, ok? I love you child but sometimes you can be so stubborn.”

(Laughing) Lord I love you so!
